Ask about FA-DB

A dash means we have not published that figure yet — not that it does not exist. Ask and we will send the drawing and the test record for the exact build you need.

WHERE IT IS USED

  • Railway rolling stock braking systems
  • Coach and wagon underframe equipment
  • Retrofit of brake equipment onto existing stock

HOW IT IS MADE AND PROVED

Welded to a qualified procedure

Every joint runs to a qualified welding procedure — WPS and PQR — by a welder qualified to run it. Welding is carried out under ISO 3834, and because this is rolling-stock work, under EN 15085 as well.

Inspected and tested before it ships

Visual inspection of every weld, dimensional inspection against your drawing, and leak and pressure testing on vessels. The result is recorded against the job number, and the documentation pack ships with the goods.

Traceable to your job

Plate and fittings are booked in against the job, not against a shelf, so what went into your vessel stays traceable to your vessel.

BEFORE WE QUOTE

Send what you have. We can help clarify the remaining details.

  • Your drawing or installation envelope, intended use and quantity.
  • Required material, finish, connections and mounting arrangement.
  • For pressure vessels: working pressure, operating temperature and applicable design or inspection requirements.
  • Target delivery date and the documents your purchasing team needs.

Frequently asked

Is this welded to EN 15085?
Yes. Railway vehicle and component welding is carried out under EN 15085, in addition to ISO 3834 for fusion welding quality. That accreditation is the reason this assembly exists in our range.
What is included on the frame?
Reservoirs, manifold and the pneumatic circuit, hosed and carried on one welded frame, guarded, with a mesh floor and integral lifting pads.
Do you build to our drawing?
Yes. This is built to the customer's specification. If the drawing is ambiguous we say so before we quote, not after we have built it.

Welded under ISO 3834 and, for rolling stock, EN 15085. See what the accreditation means →
